I would throw Sri Lanka in there somewhere.

Pakistani bowlers have a lot of "potential", but at the end of the day they are what they are, highly unpredictable and brutally unjust to their talents and abilities. Nawaz, Khan, Younis and Akram are from yesterday. The current bunch is too inconsistent.

India obviously didn't get to #1 in Tests if they couldn't take 20 wickets on different surfaces and in different conditions. Their bowling is weaker than their batting, yes, but as you put it, it's not the greatest.

My #1 is still Australia though. Regardless of what rankings say. It will be interesting to see how long India can hold on to their position.
